Street Dates A Reality?
Previously I wrote my ramblings on shipping products on time. On Walmarts Blog they briefly spoke about using street dates for releases at Sony’s Destination Playstation event last week. From this you gather that everyone wants the product to be available in stores, in all retail chains, on the same day as the Music and Movie business do. I agree with this. Currently, games are just shipped and trickle in throughout the week at various stores. Why not make the media available on Tuesday worldwide? That is when everyone expects their big new movie releases to DVD and new CD releases as well. Why not games? They also comment on 1 retailer not wanting this. I will personally assume it is Gamestop. You know, their whole pre-order routine…
